So, I went down to Peoria Nissan yesterday and was looking to get a timing advance. I was asking my service advisor about it when the "Service Manager" butted in and said, "No we will not advance your timing, we cant do that." What kind of bullsh!t is that? He said that we will not do anything related to performance to the ECM. So I was

 

That sucks. I guess just try a dealership wth a less gestapo like service manager.

 

Or slip a tech some money on the side to do the timing. Most service managers won't let ya do it.

 

Most dealers won't do it.....all of the local dealers gave us BS excuses as to why they wouldn't. Eventually we found a tech out back smoking a cigarette and slipped him $80 to bring two maximas in and do it.

many dealers don't know HOW to do it using the CONSULT2 tool....the tech we used had no idea what we were talking about. luckily we brought instructions with us

 

lol, damn man, I was all excited to get my timing advanced. Are those CONSULT II's really expensive?

 

Yes and IIRC they are discontinued as well.

 

several thousand $$....

 

Peoria nissan sucks, in general! i was looking at cars one day and one of the salesman told me i was taking too long, and that i either needed to act now or get out! I was so pissed; i mean, it's not like you're just buying a $40 pair of shoes, it's a CAR! lol .... w/e needless to say, i've never been back...
